Innovative Gameplay and Charming Theme Unite in Stakelogic’s Latest Premium Release

Stakelogic, the innovative game developer known for pushing the boundaries of slot entertainment, proudly announces the launch of its newest title, Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker – a deliciously cozy slot adventure that invites players to toast their way to candy-coated riches around a glowing campfire.

This medium-to-high volatility cluster pays slot offers an enchanting woodland experience with groundbreaking gameplay mechanics and massive win potential of up to 10,000x your stake. Available to play from April 17th, 2025, Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker promises to satisfy players’ sweet tooth for exciting gameplay and massive wins.

The revolutionary ClusterBreaker feature can split any symbol (excluding Bonus and Super Bonus symbols) into 2, 3, or 4 identical symbols in the same position, dramatically increasing winning potential with each spin. Each symbol can only split once per spin, creating dynamic and unpredictable gameplay that keeps players on the edge of their seats.

When winning symbols cascade away, their positions are marked. If another winning symbol lands in the same marked position consecutively, multiplier frames are created – starting at x2 and potentially doubling all the way up to a massive x1024 during base gameplay. These multipliers reset after each spin in the base game, creating anticipation with every new cascade.

3 Bonus Symbols trigger 10 Free Spins, and 4 Bonus Symbols reward players with 15 Free Spins. Multipliers in this feature function in the same manner as in the base game with one crucial difference – they do not reset between spins, so there are potentially massive multiplier gains to be enjoyed during the bonus round.

The premium bonus experience is triggered by landing the Super Bonus Symbol (available only on reel 4) along with regular Bonus Symbols. Two Bonus Symbols plus the Super Bonus Symbol awards 10 Super Free Spins, while three Bonus Symbols with the Super Bonus Symbol grants 15 Super Free Spins.

What makes these Super Free Spins exceptionally rewarding is that multiplier frames start at x3 and can triple with each consecutive win at the same position – reaching a staggering maximum of x2187. These enhanced multipliers and marked positions remain active throughout the entire Super Free Spins round for truly spectacular win potential.

Players seeking immediate bonus action can purchase directly into either bonus round. The standard Free Spins Bonus is available for 100x the bet, while the Super Free Spins Bonus costs 200x the bet, offering instant access to the game’s most thrilling features.

Stakelogic’s signature Super Stake™ feature allows players to double their chances of triggering Free Spins for an additional 50% of their base game bet – perfect for those looking to maximize their bonus opportunities.

James Jelliffe, Head of Slots at Stakelogic, commented: “Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker represents everything players love about Stakelogic games – innovative mechanics, stunning visuals, and massive win potential, all wrapped in a charming, cozy theme. The ClusterBreaker feature creates genuinely unpredictable and exciting gameplay, while our progressive multiplier system in both bonus rounds delivers those heart-racing big win moments that players crave.”

Cozy Candy ClusterBreaker is available now through Stakelogic’s partner network of operators worldwide.
